    Hi , I have a small handbag business and have been approached by a chain store with 13 stores. I print my own fabrics, and make all my bags from theses and make everything locally in Australia. If it costs me say $34.00 to produce a bag? How much should I be wholesaling at? Not sure how much profit most business's make on the wholesaling mark up? I assume that most stores expect to double my wholesale price? Do you suggest minimum orders? thank -you Bettina, www.bkhdesign.com.au. Sydney Australia.

To be madeup either in a polyester silky material or a material like soft shower curtains......whichever makes up the best.If you can help get in-touch. I live in Sussex England.

    Hi everyone, I am new to this bag industry. Never done any business so need help in setting up a selling price. The aim is to start selling bags on our own (doing retailing) and then once we have some experience we can sell bags to Wholesaler. Now if the bag is costing us at $15 shall we add 100% markup means sell it right now for $30 and later on when we approach wholesaler we will sell to them for $21. Will this model work ? With Wholesale price to do the retailing on our own. Regards, CK

    Hi, I am looking to work with a designer, I already have a patent on the work I have designed but I need a professional designer to help basically scan certain images / designs / pictures onto the graphic handbag in software form and manipulate the images on the bag. The next step would be to develop a prototype. The material would be PVC or other sort of plastic resin. Someone in the NJ / NY area would be ideal. I can be reached at jjarema@lucrativelogic.com.

  • Emmanuel Obafemi (Brand Developer) beginner adviser said on November 16, 2011
    Hi everyone, It is really sad that a great number of people have passion for bag designs in their head but cannot translate it to paper and finally to the shelf to become happy CEOs. From my experience dealing with Business Starters in the Fashion-related industry, all you need to do is 'process'. It doesn't matter where you live and what market you are targeting, what's important is 'getting the ideas out'. Take it from the scratch, build your own brand one-block-at-a-time! And so, if you are serious and ready to work hard on yourself and your new business, I guarantee you - your handbag products will be out in the market in no time. You can contact me if you need professional help to put your ideas together, finish designs, discuss pricing, source fabrics, get sales partners or generally get your handbag business project started. www.facebook.com/opedollar
